Follow these tips when installing a BLAST device:

For subscribers using data services, all data wiring inside the home must be CAT5 cable or better.
Make sure subscriber connections are tightened properly.
When routing optical fiber near the device, make sure the pigtail is not pinched or bent beyond the recommended fiber bend radius.
Check the contents of each box carefully as you receive them. Components may not be located where you might expect them due to certain items being tested immediately before shipment.

About Wi-Fi Placement
Certain building materials are particularly effective at blocking Wi-Fi signals (see table below) and should be considered when locating the router. Line of sight is not necessary since MIMO technology takes advantage of reflections in the over-the-air path to carry additional data. However, it is recommended that when possible, the u10xe GS4237 or u10xe GS4237 should be placed in a centralized location within the home to yield the best possible results for Wi-Fi coverage.

During this time, other Wi-Fi capable devices can be paired to the units Gateway Wi- Fi radios (5 GHz band) by initializing a similar WPS function on the other satellite thereby creating an association with the Gateway SSID and the mesh satellite. When the Gateway and the mesh satellite are successfully paired, they will have the same primary SSID (2.4 and 5 GHz).

Sequence of WPS operation

Press WPS button a single time (3+ seconds in a 10-second window).
The device Gateway enters pairing mode (up to 120 seconds).
If another device is found, the u10xe GS4237 pairs with the device.
If no device is found, the u10xe GS4237 will exit pairing mode after 120 second.
Note: WPS LED behavior takes priority even if Alexa is in use during the pairing period.
